DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2017.01.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Low circulating levels of adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory and vasculoprotective adipokine, are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerotic disease. Presence of unstable plaques in the carotid artery is a known etiological factor causing… read more here.
